25 years ago. . .a new legacy began!

It's hard to believe. . .but 25 years ago this week, an amazing album was released. I still remember the day I went up to the local Dimple Records to buy that historic tape. And I remember the feeling I got when I heard the opening lines to " Good Enough. " To this day, I remember being up all night listening to this amazing and majestic music from a band that almost broke up the previous year.

First time I saw Sammy was with Van Halen, November 1988, at Arco Arena in Sacramento, California. When they hit that stage, I riased my fist in the air and screamed as loud as I could. It was one of the BEST shows I ever saw!!

The show started with a bang and ended with a fire during Led Zeppelin's " Rock And Roll. " Eddie just poured himself into his playing. Sammy inspired everyone with " Eagles Fly. " The whole damn show just FLEW.
